Abstract In the field of polymer‐based photovoltaic cells, poly(3‐hexylthiophene) (P3HT) and 1‐(3‐methoxycarbonyl)propyl‐1‐phenyl[6,6]C 61 (PCBM) are, to date, most‐studied active materials around world for bulk‐heterojunction structure. Various power‐conversion efficiencies are reported up approximately 5%. This Research News article is focused on a survey tremendous literature published between 2002 2010 that exhibits solar cells based blends P3HT PCBM.
A novel stable bisazide molecule that can freeze the bulk heterojunction morphology at its optimized layout by specifically bonding to fullerenes is reported. The concept demonstrated with various polymers: fullerene derivatives systems enable highly thermally polymer solar cells.
The effect of impurities on the optoelectronic and charge transport properties semiconducting polymers was investigated through performance organic photovoltaics (OPVs) field transistors (OFETs), respectively. A model representative polymer, i.e., poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT), synthesized purified using different methods such as precipitation, metals' complexation, Soxhlet extraction. After purification processes, each fraction analyzed to determine its composition in metals (impurities) by...

The active layer of a polymer photovoltaic cell is mainly based on blend two components: semiconducting (electron donor) and fullerene derivative acceptor) to form the bulk heterojunction (BHJ). To offer optimum performances, morphology this has be very carefully controlled at nanoscale. materials BHJ require specific phase segregation enabling photogenerated exciton diffusion dissociation, also ensure pathways for charge carriers electrodes. However, such thermodynamically unstable over...

Abstract Here efficient organic photovoltaic devices fabricated from water‐based colloidal dispersions with donor:acceptor composite nanoparticles achieving up to 9.98% power conversion efficiency (PCE) are reported. This high for water processed solar cells is attributed morphology control by surface energy matching between the donor and acceptor materials. Indeed, due a low interfacial acceptor, no large phase separation occurs during nanoparticle formation process as well upon thermal...

Great improvements in the development of organic photovoltaic (OPV) devices have been reported over years; however, overall efficiency and operational lifetimes must be improved.
The efficiency of organic photovoltaic (OPV) solar cells is constantly improving; however, the lifetime devices still requires significant improvement if potential OPV to be realised. In this study, several series inverted were fabricated and thermally aged in dark an inert atmosphere. It was demonstrated that all undergo short circuit current-driven degradation, which assigned morphology changes active layer. addition, a previously unreported, open voltage-driven degradation mechanism...
Abstract Organic mixed conductors find use in batteries, bioelectronics technologies, neuromorphic computing, and sensing. While great progress has been achieved, polymer‐based frequently experience significant volumetric changes during ion uptake/rejection, i.e., doping/de‐doping charging/discharging. Although dynamics may be enhanced expanded networks, these can have undesirable consequences, e.g., negatively affecting hole/electron conduction severely shortening device lifetime. Here, the...
